History
Einsatzgruppen (Special task forces) were paramilitary groups formed by Heinrich Himmler and operated by the SS before and during World War Two. They operated in the territories captured by the German armies during the invasion of the Soviet Union. Their principal task was to implement Hitler's 'final solution of the Jewish question' in the conquered territories.
